I have noticed that I tend to pace different stories differently, and one of the tools I use for this is control of chapter length. On one extreme, I wrote His Recipe For Love (NSFW, it's an erotic horror story with both sex and gore, set two and a half centuries before the series) as a single 11,334 word long chapter, something I did intentionally so that the reader would not break at any point, but instead absorb

His brow creased with concentration, Lofting set the ruler across the map, made a few fine adjustments, and traced a line from East to West.

"It is a sign from God"
"God is punishing you"

For those who don't know, I finally published the next chapter of my (thus far) one and only story. Took me long enough.

Good news, this chapter was cut short, so to speak, as I was writing right past it. I realized I needed to put a break in there for a little breathing room before the breathing got heavy (what?).

Since I'm procrastinating like a madman at the moment, I thought I might as well make one random blog post to keep my hands from freezing solid. (I live in Canada, remember? The film "Snowpiercer" was based on the place. )

The question of the day is basically: what is your preferred writing method? Not why you write, just how you write. I'll start.
